Hey everyone! I need your help. I recently bought a condo and found out the washing machine drains into the bathtub instead of into the plumbing system like it should. Sometimes it even backs up into the tub. I've got no one to turn to for advice since all my contacts are far away or don't know much about this stuff. I heard that the HOA is cool with us doing plumbing work, so I'm wondering if there's a way to reroute the drainage to the kitchen sink or bathroom sink instead? Or is there no way to fix this? I'd love to learn more about my options. Thanks!

It sounds like a hassle, but it’s not the end of the world! I used to live in a place where the washing machine drained into a utility sink. It might be worth calling a plumber to set up a new drain line that connects to your home's main drain system. That way, you won't have to deal with backflow into your tub!
